we went to a diner after shift and at first it honestly felt… easy.
we were laughing, talking, eating like two people who had known each other way longer than we actually had.
i even caught myself thinking maybe i misjudged him.
he kept smiling at me.
kept telling me how funny i was.
kept looking at me like he actually liked being around me.
and because the vibe felt so good, i opened up a little.
i told him about the kind of content i do off the clock. not even in a crazy way. just being honest.
his whole face changed.
like instantly.
it was like the woman he had been laughing with five seconds earlier suddenly became “disgusting” to him.
then he goes,
“yeah, that’s enough. second time this month.”
and i just sat there confused because what does that even mean?
but he kept going. louder this time.
loud enough for half the diner to turn around and stare.
suddenly i’m the reason he’s angry.
i’m the reason he’s embarrassed.
i’m the problem because i dared to be honest.
he started yelling in the middle of the restaurant like i had done something to him personally.
someone ended up calling the cops.
and yes… they actually walked him out.
meanwhile i spent the rest of the night crying in the truck, wondering why men always act like they want a “real” woman until she tells the truth about who she is.
that’s the part nobody talks about.
men will flirt with you, laugh with you, chase you…
but the second you stop fitting their perfect little box, they turn cruel.
and somehow women are still the ones called dramatic.
